Amitraz 12.5% m/v

100ml, 500ml, 2L, 5L

Application Type: Plunge Dip, Hand spray or Spray Race

Plunge Dipping

Should be applied with stabilizer

Each Triatix 2L added requires a 6-kg lime bag to be sprinkled onto the water at the end of each dipping.

Filling Rate (initial fill):

• 1 pack (2 liters) Triatix per 1000 litres of water in the tank.
• Open all the 2-liter containers and empty into a bucket.
• Pre-cream with an equal volume of water before mixing with bulk water in the tank.
• Pour into the dip tank from end to end.
• Dip at least 25 head to agitate.
• Mix the wash and return these to the collecting pen for re-dipping.
• This procedure should be performed at the start of each day’s dipping in a full-strength wash.

Replenishment

There are 2 methods:

Either

1. Coopers Head Count System (HCS) of Replenishment

• A single 2-liter Triatix is added for every 250 head dipped.
• Replenishment should take place at the end of the dipping or after 500 cattle dipped – whichever comes first.
• The required volume of concentrate is pre-creamed and added to the dip wash, and the stabilizer sprinkled onto the surface of the dip wash.
• Top up the tank to the full mark with water immediately prior to the next dipping.
• For convenience and accuracy use the Triatix Record Sheet.
• This method is strongly recommended as it maintains the dip wash at the correct concentrate and therefore dip wash analysis is seldom required.

Or

2. Conventional Method of Replenishment

• A single 2-liter Triatix is to be added for every 600 litres of water added to the dip tank.
• Mix as described under Filling Rate.
• At the end of the day’s dipping sprinkle all the packs of stabilizer from the open packs onto the dip wash surface.
• Do not agitate.

16L Knapsack:         Mix 16L of water with 32ml of Triatix.

Spray Race

Initial filling rate: 1: 500

• Fill spray race sump with 400 litres of water plus 2.5 litres for every animal to be sprayed.
• Pre-cream concentrate with an equal volume of water before mixing with bulk water in the sump.
• Always prepare fresh wash for each day’s spraying.

Boost rate:

• Add 250ml of Triatix for every 100 head through the spray race.
• Under heavy tick challenge clip hair from ears and tail brushes to assist wetting.
